I have used this product but instead of using water to rinse it, I use a powerful leaf blower to blow residual degreaser. I use a towel to wipe areas that had overspray.
I use a pump type garden sprayer. Mainly because I'm on well water that leaves spots, so I use purified water. It also allows for minimal water under the hood. I can even clean it in the garage on a tarp.
Definitely a products that stands out amongst all others. I have been using it for years. I have used pressure washer all my life, however it is best to wash from TOP only. (let the water flow down wards)
@@brooklyn7941 use plastic bags to shield the following components from water: alternator, MAF sensor, oxygen sensors, fuse box and relays, intake system components, battery, exposed electrical connectors, and ignition coils.
Gunk has a biodegradable spray which I use and works great! I cover my electrical fuse and electronics with plastic bags and lightly spray the engine off with water low or no pressure.
Never use degreaser under the bonnet unless it's actually covered in oil. It will cloud up plastic, rubber and ally. Just use a ph neutral soap like CT18 on a bottle diluted then wash it off.
Can you use this on the bottom side of the engine also? And do you want to rinse more than once, or do more than once cycle with this? Thank you for sharing your experience and skills with us.
Thank you. I didn't like the it sprays, it has a stream not a misty spay, it splattered all over.....so I just bought the foam and will be giving it a try,

I always used the GUNK SC,Came in a Gallon can ,,Now I cat find it ,Seems the Na-Z#I EPA forced it off the Market ,!!! That stuff was Fantastic ,,Spray a diluted solution on the warm engine Let set an hour and pressure wash it off It cleand great Then give a spray of the Purple dirt cleaner and It was Like new !

Anytime you clean an engine with water and or degreasers you damage the electrical terminal connectors and wiring...just use a wet rag and take time wiping down
This has solvents in it , said to not be good for rubber and plastics . I use Zep Heavy Duty Citrus Degreaser or any other citrus based degreasers and best if biodegradeable .
@@strxwbwy The engine seems to be just dirty and no oily / grease build up . In this case I would use a citrus based degreaser as they are less harsh and biodegradeable . Though I have used this same one in the 1980s on an engine with grease and oily deposits . I suspect many people do not use a funnel when pouring oil into their engine and it spills .
@@strxwbwy Though Gunk does have a citrus based cleaner that comes in a spray bottle . I used that for years cleaning my engine from just surface dirt , no grease , oil , etc. But , it is very strong as I was almost choking when using it .
Using high pressure water is very high risk, if done properly its not needed either, just a garden hose to gently rinse. This is the short cut, fast and high risk method.
I have tried to use the tire cleaner foam on the engine, particularly at the black colored parts (plastics, hoses/pipes, etc), it has the same results...
You never run water on your engine like that unless you cover vital electronic parts water can get into the sparkplug sockets and other electrical parts that's a no no.
There's no issue if the electrical components are NOT engergized. Diconnecting the battery's negative post would be sufficient and not reconnecting until everything's completely dry. By your logic, most vehicles wouldn't survive a rainstorm while driving through puddles, which begs to question because those components are energized while operating the vehicle.
99% of those are water RESISTANT, NOT WATERPROOF. Never use a pressure washer, a garden hose with a soft spray nozzle will work perfectly fine . Most of those components gets wet during rainy drives but a pressure washer is way too much
NEVER pressure wash a car engine! He's using an electric pressure washing with relatively low PSI. An engine powered pressure washer would do lots of damage!
Great job. But I think using water is not a goid idea because there are electronic and electrical connection all around the engine. What if we leave the degreaser without wash?
It's OK to use pressure washer on this engine. It doesn't have electrical connections or computers to worry about. I would have also sprayed inside the car while i was at it.
Don’t ever pressure wash your engine compartment. I really know what you’re doing, you’re gonna have all kinds of electrical problems everything like that.
I use only citrus based cleaners . As they are biodegradable and not harmful to plastics and rubber. Just to rinse completely afterwards. I use Zep orange cleaner full strength
Showing the 3 "flavors"... I'm curious about the "Gel" variant. Anyone with Experience with that? Since this Video Speculates that the "Foam" version's use on the Undersided of the Hood ran off quickly and didn't have enough cleaner/time to perform very well... Curious if the "Gel" does provide enough "cling" and possibly foam/moisture to help breakdown any grime it hits... Assuming the Gel doesn't run off during the 10-15 minutes allowing for it to loosen grim... I assume the Gel might "foam up" during the Rinse Cycle providing more cleaning action? Though probably the need for a second or third Rinse to clear all yhe gel/cleaner?
I don't belive it . He should have done one half with this stuff an the other half just water. So then we could see if it really did work .as he sprays the stuff on its goes clean so water would don't the same . I don't belive it .
I have used this product but instead of using water to rinse it, I use a powerful leaf blower to blow residual degreaser. I use a towel to wipe areas that had overspray.
Smart way to go about it Mr. 1977, that’s what I do exactly, no problems ever.👍🏽
I do similar but I use a hand held steamer with a large towel❤
Which type you use the foamy or original
I use a pump type garden sprayer. Mainly because I'm on well water that leaves spots, so I use purified water. It also allows for minimal water under the hood. I can even clean it in the garage on a tarp.
I use a pressure washer just not 5 inches from the motor Assy. Couple feet away has never failed me.
I strongly suggest using a garden hose. Pressure washer will put water in places you dont want.
Definitely a products that stands out amongst all others. I have been using it for years.
I have used pressure washer all my life, however it is best to wash from TOP only. (let the water flow down wards)
rule#1 of cleaning your engine is dont use pressure washers
The engine cleaner is highly corosive you dont whant any left on the engine pressure wash is on if the engine is disel on petrol only not recomand
I love how he speaks. It’s therapeutic.
ask him for a date
Lol
Hypnotizing
Hug him!
@@knolez1546 yes everyone can use a hug today.
I’ve used gunk for showers too, strong smell indoors but works better than any ‘normal’ bathroom cleaner.
You take showers with it? I prefer body wash myself 😂
@@realamerican2633 real men use engine degreaser to clean their junk.
Never use a pressure washer. Just use degreaser, a soft brush and a hose.
I don't even want to spray the hose in there 🤣🤣 it's gonna get all fucced up 🤔
What can get wet and what can’t get wet ?
@@brooklyn7941 use plastic bags to shield the following components from water: alternator, MAF sensor, oxygen sensors, fuse box and relays, intake system components, battery, exposed electrical connectors, and ignition coils.
depends on the car, most car now a days are water tight
@@ProJanitor that's a lot of stuff to cover 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ve used a Tornado air gun under the hood, it does a decent job of removing most dust and dirt before washing.
I believe covering the alternator is more beneficial than disconnection the battery but overall - great video...thanks
Thanx bro I used poleks engine degreaser and it worked amazing it even return the shiny look of the front AC radiator
That's great, but don't leave them for a long time, they fade paint and plastic in a long term usage
Gunk has a biodegradable spray which I use and works great! I cover my electrical fuse and electronics with plastic bags and lightly spray the engine off with water low or no pressure.
Just bought this product, just wanted to check it out before I used it. Great Video man, appreciate you posting this 👍
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your feedback
That's how UA-cam videos should be, thanks Ali
Thanks

It will cloud up plastic, rubber and ally.
Just use a ph neutral soap like CT18 on a bottle diluted then wash it off.
Save yourself a lot of money and just use spray tire cleaner let it dry on engine compartment. Works great
Can you use this on the bottom side of the engine also?
And do you want to rinse more than once, or do more than once cycle with this?
Thank you for sharing your experience and skills with us.
Yes you can!, I have an old video and cleaned oil pan with it, here
ua-cam.com/video/YD_fwOfYEOg/v-deo.html
I use distilled water ., it won’t effect the electronics and not cause rust on any electric terminals and won’t leave green ash corrosion
Thank u Ali, and I hope u do an extended version of how to clean ur engine the right way. ❤
Thanks for watching, sure I will make a long version soon
@@AliMECH Thank you 🙏🏻😊 can’t wait

My biggest concern was with the alternator. Getting it soaked like that I think was not a good idea.

Gracias Rosie

You’re welcome
Using high pressure water is very high risk, if done properly its not needed either, just a garden hose to gently rinse. This is the short cut, fast and high risk method.
If you wet afterwards, air hosing compartment works very well
I have tried to use the tire cleaner foam on the engine, particularly at the black colored parts (plastics, hoses/pipes, etc), it has the same results...
It gives oily layer, but they are not degreaser,
Good video.👍Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
It's best to have the engine running while washing the engine bay.
Is that product good on electrical like the alternator and such?
Will never use a Pressure Washer, and always cover the Alternator with a Plastic Bag.
I suspect that the results would be similar with just the pressure washer? 🤔🤔
You never run water on your engine like that unless you cover vital electronic parts water can get into the sparkplug sockets and other electrical parts that's a no no.
Bullshine. Cars are now water proof
There's no issue if the electrical components are NOT engergized. Diconnecting the battery's negative post would be sufficient and not reconnecting until everything's completely dry.
By your logic, most vehicles wouldn't survive a rainstorm while driving through puddles, which begs to question because those components are energized while operating the vehicle.
What will happen to sensors,connectors,sockets,modules,ecu,alternator?
99% of those are water RESISTANT, NOT WATERPROOF. Never use a pressure washer, a garden hose with a soft spray nozzle will work perfectly fine . Most of those components gets wet during rainy drives but a pressure washer is way too much
The real question is, what will be negatively affected if dirty, vs what will be negatively affected if wet?
You forgot to mention something very important. It is mandatory to cover electrical parts like the alternator and the ECU.
No it's not mandatory unless the car is very old and in bad condition
NEVER pressure wash a car engine! He's using an electric pressure washing with relatively low PSI. An engine powered pressure washer would do lots of damage!
Great job. But I think using water is not a goid idea because there are electronic and electrical connection all around the engine. What if we leave the degreaser without wash?
@@marosen9260 right, just do the things this dude didn't do in the video.
Never use a pressure washer!
What will cause the parts of the hood to get dusty?
I expect driving on dirt roads , etc
NEVER PRESSURE WASH AN ENGINE
Never use water on engine bay, especially a pressure washer!!
He didnt even protect the electronics OMFG
It's OK to use pressure washer on this engine. It doesn't have electrical connections or computers to worry about. I would have also sprayed inside the car while i was at it.
Can this be used on diesel 🙏🏼
Sure
Nice good job
Thanks
One major thing he forgot, guess what? yes, he forgets to cover the Alternator with a plastic bag.
He's still trying to start the car
Damn right
DON'T NEED PRESSURE WASHER FOR ENGINE BAY. AFFECTS THE ELECTRICAL: ALTERNATOR & FUSE BOX. ALSO AFFECTS THE SEALS.
Is it a good idea to pressure wash the engine though? The pressure might force it into electronic components. A garden hose seems like a safer option?
Sure it's safer, but my pressure washer at lowest setting, it doesn't even harm hand if I put my hand in front of the nozzle
Hell no. 90% of those parts are made in China and you have exposed connectors. Great way to F up something expensive
You not close Alternator when you use high pressure washer ???
Is the car still running?
Scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner works too
Don’t ever pressure wash your engine compartment. I really know what you’re doing, you’re gonna have all kinds of electrical problems everything like that.
Very after some time all sensors will go bad water will eventually sip into them
Best if sprayed on a warm engine, heavy deposits require loosening up with a stiff brush and soaking 15 min before rinsing.
You can, but it evaporates the cleaner and don't let it degrease the oil
Me gustaría ver qué al terminar, prende el auto sin problema, eso sería para el cierre de su proceso!
I’m always nervous that pressure washing the engine will cause problems. Anyone experience any problems pressure washing their engine bay?
No but I do not spray so close. A couple feet away has never failed me.
Dose this world on any car
Do not pressure wash your engine! 😮
Cover the alternator with a plastic bag
You!
Thanx a lot mr ali🫡
Always welcome
Pressure washing is a bad idea.
Is the degreaser safe on the alternator
I use only citrus based cleaners . As they are biodegradable and not harmful to plastics and rubber. Just to rinse completely afterwards. I use Zep orange cleaner full strength
@@peterrudy9207what brands are these citrus based cleaners and where can I find it?
Good
Thanks
Cover your alternator..Trust me.
Really bad idea.... modern engines have all sorts of electronics and sensors...water will destroy it...
And not to mention rust...
Never pressure wash your engine .
Got what? 20? 30 miles? Before it broke down?
I use a fire hose
Water all over , nooooo 😢
This is crazy.. pure water? 😅😅
😅
I wanted to see him try and start it after, especially after spraying all that water into the alternator! 😆 😅😂 Rookie
Well if you don’t drive the car for a few days it should be fine
Yes , best to cover it with a heavy duty plastic bag and secure it with ?
Showing the 3 "flavors"... I'm curious about the "Gel" variant. Anyone with Experience with that?

To expensive to use that stuff for what u get. Get a gallon jug of purple power for around 8 dollars at walmart.
Never use pressure water man
Goodbye 😢
The main point of using the spray is to avoid using high-pressure water. That was a big mistake you made.
You didn't cover the alternator which you should. RULE NO 1:: DON'T USE PRESSURE WASHER TO WASH ENGINE BAY !!!
wow thanks for youtbue smile
Pressure washing from 3 inches away on exposed connectors is crazy....
Really Bad advice 👎
Eyy don’t do it in that way, cover the alternator
Did the car start after that ?🤔
Always
Not 👎
👍
🙏
hah...every electrical ground under there is doomed!
I don't belive it . He should have done one half with this stuff an the other half just water. So then we could see if it really did work .as he sprays the stuff on its goes clean so water would don't the same .
I don't belive it .
Oh yea use that pressure washer get all that water in the plugs lmfao
That’s a cars engine or something else? Just looks like a hot mess
Yes it's nissan kicks engine, it doesn't have engine cover, it looks so messy haha
Use WD40!!!
Do you notice how these videos never have women?
I like women
If you need a how-to video on cleaning a car engine, please surrender your driver's license and car keys
Que goey eres no mms
looks like you dumped a bag of flour on the engine bay to make a click bait video funny how people will believe anything
It was second handed car, first engine wash, you are free how you believe, flour are white by the way
Go away, I learned so much from him
He didn't do any advertising, and never making clickbait videos, go away and dont come back
How about greasy and oil all over engine and alternator from an oil leak that sprayed all over engine alternator and engine ect?????
